<p class="p_Normal">Beyond Compare is highly configurable, and it sometimes can be hard to know where to go in the program to change a specific setting. Here's where to look:</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">Program Options</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">General user preferences are set in the <a href="dlgprogoptions.html" class="topiclink">Options</a> dialog. Pick <span class="f_Command">Tools > Options</span> <img width="16" height="16" style="margin:0;width:16px;height:16px;border:none" src="options.png"/> to open it. From here you can set startup options, control confirmation messages, and customize display colors and fonts.</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">Session Settings</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">Most of the options that define the scope and rules of a comparison can be found in the <a href="session_settings.html" class="topiclink">Session Settings</a> dialog. Each session type has its own session settings dialog. Pick <span class="f_Command">Session > Session Settings</span> <img width="16" height="16" style="margin:0;width:16px;height:16px;border:none" src="sessionedit.png"/> to open the dialog, or simply click the <span class="f_Command">Rules</span> <img width="16" height="16" style="margin:0;width:16px;height:16px;border:none" src="rules.png"/> toolbar button.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">Session settings are stored with your saved sessions.</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">File Formats</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">Specific file types can be configured in the <a href="dlgfileformatmanager.html" class="topiclink">File Formats</a> dialog. Pick <span class="f_Command">Tools > File Formats</span> <img width="16" height="16" style="margin:0;width:16px;height:16px;border:none" src="fileformatmanager.png"/> to open it.</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">Profiles</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">Specific remote services can be configured in the <a href="dlgprofilemanager.html" class="topiclink">Profiles</a> dialog. Pick <span class="f_Command">Tools > Profiles</span> to open it.</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">Source Control Integration </span><img width="27" height="12" style="margin:0;width:27px;height:12px;border:none" src="pro.png"/><img width="16" height="16" style="margin:0;width:16px;height:16px;border:none" src="windows.png"/></p>
<p class="p_Normal">Specific source control associations can be configured in the <a href="dlgsourcecontrolmanager.html" class="topiclink">Source Control Integration</a> dialog. Pick <span class="f_Command">Tools > Source Control Integration</span> to open it.</p>
